Welcome mate

Hope you enjoy it here.

I think Hanz it will still be 1-7 but the "value" unfortunately gets higher and higher   :Laughing_on_floor: :Laughing_on_floor:

Thanks guys for the warm welcome!

CK77: the Suunto I have is the Suunto t1c Black Pattern. It comes standard with a soft heart rate monitor that you put around your chest. You can use it for any kind of activity and it will measure your heart rate as well as calories burned. The best thing about this is its compatibility with most gym equipment. It will transmit the HR reading the the machines.

The last one is the Schroeder GMT Automatic.

While I was in Luxembourg, I went to this watch shop with a friend of mine who is well verse in the world of watches. We saw this and got one a piece. Surprisingly, there is not a lot of information about this brand. The website for this brand is http://www.cityplug.lu/en/Luxembourg/ANBVB6OM_Shopping_Schroeder-Joailliers_extLink.html. The movement is Eta but the designs are very nice.
